The Comanche Nation of Oklahoma shut down a tattoo parlor that was operating on an Indian allotment.
The tribe said the owners of the store failed to apply for a business license. But the tribe's tax commission said it was unlikely to approve a license because tattoo shops are illegal in Oklahoma.
The shop owners plan to fight the decision. The man who owns the allotment says the tribe lacks jurisdiction on the land.
